Timothy Burg

Professor
University of Georgia
Athens, Georgia, United States

Dr Timothy Burg is Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences (BMSC) in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. An Electrical Engineer by training, he has extensive experience in intelligent systems, including nonlinear control systems and robotics. An intelligent system can be defined as the integration of hardware and software to create a new system that exceeds the capabilities of the hardware alone. An interesting project was a model-based control design approach to optimizing antiangiogenic therapy for tumor minimization. Current projects that capitalize on the promise of the intelligent systems approach include haptic trainers for laparoscopic surgery training and biofabrication. His primary ongoing technical research centers on the application of controls and robotics tools to fabricate systems of living tissues. He works with students and other collaborators to build unique biofabrication instrumentation that constructs tissues in an assembly line fashion. An important skill honed on past projects is the ability to work with domain experts, like bioengineers or psychologists, to define interfaces for connecting complex subsystems, i.e., projects that require a multidisciplinary team. He strives to connect the exciting research at the university level with K-12 students.
